: Hi Jeff!

: Thanks a lot to you for the additional info, much appreciated!

: I am very pleasently surprised by the way you treat newcomers in
: this forum. I do know that certain watches have had a
: considerable rise in value through the years, but my father's
: and my intention of buying watches have never been "to be
: rich" by selling them off, we are simply just interested in
: watches and on a side-note in old racing cars as well.

: This is a "bit off-topic", but I called my father today.
: He is 90 years old and a "bit" senile :), but still a
: cool man in my opinion. He was/is the real collector in our
: family, and he has an old list of the watches he owns. Of these
: watches he has only used an Eterna-Matic, a Breguet pocket
: watch, and a Heuer Carrera, the rest of the watches are NIB.
: They are not for sale though. The watches have been bought from
: the early 1950's to about year 2000.

: - Breguet 7 wristwatches
: - Breguet 4 pocketwatches
: - Heuer 5 wristwatces
: - Heuer stopwatch (with a Ferrari-logo on it and bought from Mario
: Andretti)
: - Tudor 3 wristwatches
: - Eterna-Matic 17 wristwatches
: - Omega 2 wristwatches
: - Certina 46 wristwatches, several of them are one-offs
: - IWC 2 wristwatches
: - Minerva 4 wristwatches
: - Glashütte 6 wristwatches
: - He has some watches that he could not read the name on, thick
: glasses you see, but I'll check with him later on what these
: are.

: That's it I guess as the list stops on March 14 2001. He do for
: some reason dislike Rolex watches...

: My collection is spanning from A.Lange&Söhne to Swatch..in total
: 74 watches. I do have 4 Heuers, as mentioned 2 Pasasdenas, 1
: helmet clock signed by " abunch" of F1-drivers at
: Monza in 1971, and a Silverstone. None are for sale though.

: Honestly I have not thought about the watches mentioned above for
: several years, but a friend of mine recently started as a
: watch-collector, so I did have to have a look into what I had as
: well.

: Please don't think of me a as a "cocky" new member here,
: I have after all bought watches since the mid 1970's, and prices
: were not that high back then.

: Best regards!
